The Kerala High Court has denied bail to Dileep for the second time.

The Kerala High Court has denied the fresh bail application of actor Dileep, who is accused of being the key conspirator in the abduction of a popular Malayalam actress in February this year.

The court had rejected his bail application on July 24, on the grounds that Dileep was influential and could destroy evidence if he was granted bail. Following this, he filed a fresh plea, claiming that he was innocent. However, there was no relief for the actor, as the Kerala High Court rejected his bail application again.

Dileep, who was arrested on July 10, has been in the Aluva sub-jail for seven weeks now.

The hearing had concluded on August 23, and the High Court had reserved its judgment. During the hearing, the prosecution submitted 213 counts of evidences in a sealed cover and argued that granting Dileep bail would hamper the investigation.

Meanwhile, celebrated criminal lawyer B Raman Pillai, who is representing Dileep, had levelled serious allegations that Additional DGP South Zone, B Sandhya, framed him in the case falsely as she was close to his ex-wife and actress Manju Warrier. It was Manju who suggested the conspiracy angle in attack case, pointing fingers at Dileep.
